Good evening,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Please see below for homework details and class updates.

This week our spelling sound is ch.  Our 4 common words and 4 ch words will be inside the homework jotters.  The spelling instructions are stuck into the front cover of the jotters.

Reading running records are being completed this week with your child to set the right reading level.  This is where we give your child an unseen text to pitch the correct reading level for each child.   Your child has chosen a ‘take-home’ book to read this week as this is taking place.  Please read a little each night with your child if possible.

Children regularly use the class library and discuss their favourite books with friends. On Tuesdays we will have ERIC time in class. Children can bring in a book from home to enjoy at this time.

Other news

Last week we started our rainforest topic.  We got into our topic groups and created a poster and a team name.  It was great fun.  The children will be making rainshakers in one of the lessons.  If possible we would like the children to bring in an empty, clean plastic bottle for this lesson.  Any size is fine.   Thank you in advance.

Have a fantastic week and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Miss Cauley
